Meet the remarkable transformation of a Stetsonville, WI basement! Initially facing flooding and troublesome odors, the homeowner sought a lasting solution. As you can see, we introduced our WaterGuard system and SuperSump pump—trusted for ensuring basements stay dry and fresh. Notice in the photo how expertly WaterGuard channels unwanted water and the SuperSump pumps it away. We're thrilled to provide our community with solutions that not only solve immediate issues but ensure a serene and healthy home environment.
Discharge pipes laying around your lawn can look messy and result in a tripping hazard. However, underground discharge pipes aren't any better because they can freeze during winter and can back up water in your sump pump and cause flooding. This was the problem for these homeowners in Nekoosa, WI. Every winter their pipes would freeze and water would back up into their basement.
Immediately our team knew just what to do to put these homeowners at ease. We installed our Iceguard System, this is attached right to the house where the discharge pipes come out. Located at the top of the IceGuard are small slits to release water out if your pipes are frozen, letting the homeowners know their pipes need to be thawed out.
Our Sure-Dry team installed 8 GeoLocks to the basement walls of a home in Nekoosa, WI.
GeoLocks use the outside, hard, compacted soil to hold the wall in place and keep it from bowing any further. Every so often the GeoLocks can be tightened and over time will pull the wall but to its proper location.
Before:
A homeowner in Nekoosa was getting seepage at the wall–floor (cove) joint after storms and dampness wicking through the lower walls. Some sections of the basement couldn’t be trenched due to finishes and utilities, and the aging pump left them uneasy during power flickers.
After:
We installed WaterGuard® interior perimeter drainage where trenching was feasible to intercept groundwater at the cove joint, and used DryTrak® low-profile baseboard drainage along finished/utility walls where we couldn’t cut the slab. Both drains were tied into a new UltraSump® system with a sealed lid, alarm, and battery backup for dependable pumping through outages.
Now the basement stays clean, dry, and usable year-round—with reliable protection in heavy rains and power interruptions.
After receiving a call from homeowners in Vesper, WI about constant water in their basement. The crew was ready to do some waterproofing.
First, the Sure-Dry team installed the WaterGuard System around their entire basement. The WaterGuard will remove all water that seeps through their concrete walls. It will then collect in the WaterGuard at the bottom of the floor and be carried to the sump pump to be discharged out.
To then remove water in the center of their basement, we installed the TrenchDrain. This will redirect water that has accumulated on their floor and bring it to their sump pump.
After a big waterproofing job in their basement, these homeowners couldn't be happier knowing their belongings downstairs are safe.
